Essential Tips for Your Move to NYC

Posted on Oct 20, 2015 1:45pm PDT

If you’re ready to embrace a whole new lifestyle, moving to NYC could
be just the thing needed to shake things up. However, it’s important
to keep in mind that relocating to the Big Apple can be much more challenging
than your average move. There are new things to think about when planning
a move to NYC, such as
renting a storage unit for the belongings that won’t fit into your apartment. Whether you’re
moving to New York City from across the country or from across the state,
these tips will help make your relocation as easy and stress-free as possible.

Rent a Storage Unit Ahead of Time

Unless you’re moving to an apartment that’s the same square
footage as your current residence, you’ll likely need to downsize
your belongings. For items that you don’t regularly use but can’t
bear to part with, renting a self-storage unit in Manhattan offers a low-cost
solution to having a cramped and uncomfortable apartment.

Get to Know the City Before its “Home”

If you’re not
familiar with New York City, it’s a good idea that you spend a few weeks getting to know the
area you’ll be living in. Look at maps and research nearby restaurants,
grocery stores, attractions, and public transportation so you can get
into the swing of things more quickly after getting settled in your new
apartment.

Hire Movers Familiar with NYC

If you’re moving from out of state, make sure the moving company
you hire is familiar and experienced with NYC. Moving into an apartment
downtown can be a challenge considering the street parking situation in
the city, so hiring movers who know how to get the job done can save you
a lot of time and headache.
